Forgotten

Her vision became blurry as she opened her eyes. Light struck little by little making the view clearer. She blinked her eyes trying to adjust the light coming through her eyes. She looked at the fluorescent light above her and twitched. Her head felt heavy and the pain still lingered. On bed, she could hear whispers in the room. She tried to move her head around curiously. Her head moved to her left and Ringo appeared in the view looking worried. He walked closer to her and sat down on the bed facing her.

"Are you okay, Sayuri-chan?"

Ringo stroked Sayuri's left hand gently. Sayuri? Who's that? She looked at the person in front of her, confused. Who is this lady? Ringo frowned with Sayuri's reaction towards him. Finally, Sayuri opened her mouth and said,

"Who's Sayuri? Is it me? And you are?"

Hearing that, Ringo was flabbergasted. He backed off a little trying to process Sayuri's questions in his head. She doesn't remember...? While Ringo was still in shock, Sayuri placed her right hand onto her head, feeling pain. What happened to me...?

Ringo let her hand go and she turned to him.

"I'm sorry..."

Ringo apologized, feeling guilty. He stood up and went outside of the room speechless. Then, came a figure, panting next to him. The person ran all his might to the room and found Ringo standing at the door. Ringo didn't know what to tell him. Tokiya was still panting and tried to enter the room but Ringo stopped him from doing so. Tokiya made a confused face and Ringo sighed.

"Be ready for any circumstances, okay?"

Hearing that, even with suspicion, Tokiya nodded. Ringo left to call the doctor and Tokiya entered the room freely.

He saw the girl sat up on her bed looking calm but clueless. He called for her while walking towards her bed and she turned to him, confused.

"Sayuri... that's me, isn't it?"

Sayuri asked Tokiya as if she didn't even know who she is. Tokiya was stunned for a second.

"What are you talking about? Of course it is. Don't joke around."

Sayuri tilted her head looking at Tokiya. He felt angry but he tried to control his anger and continued.

"How can you be so careless? Are your head okay?"

Tokiya caressed her bandaged head carefully. After a while, Sayuri apologized. This made Tokiya became more suspicious.

"I'm sorry but... who are you?"

Hearing that, Tokiya felt uneasy. He was stunned again.

"What do you mean?"

He was starting to sweat.

"I meant as I said. I don't know you, so who are you?"

Sayuri looked confused. Tokiya thought that maybe she was joking around, but looking at how seriously she asked the question made him reminded of Ringo's words just now.

"You don't... remember?"

Sayuri shook her head apologetically. So she lost her... memories?

"What about being an idol? Do you remember that?"

Sayuri kept silent, trying to search for the memories of her being an idol. After a while she shook her head again. She didn't remember about being an idol. This worried Tokiya by, a lot. She didn't remember herself nor maybe her whole family, she didn't remember Tokiya and that maybe plus her confessions and she didn't remember being an idol and possibly that included STARISH and the agency. Then what did she remember?

Tokiya was speechless. He clenched his fist, looking at his feet. It was his fault. He knew it all along. It was his fault she's lonely, it was his fault she came back, it was his fault that they didn't speak at each other and it was his fault that she lost her memories. While Tokiya sank in grief and sorrow, Ringo came into the room with the doctor. He saw Tokiya in his unstable situation and tap his shoulder to make him realize that he's not alone. However, Tokiya didn't ever think about Ringo's intention. He just went outside of the room, soullessly. Ringo frowned for a while and turned his head towards the doctor that was at that time diagnosing Sayuri.

The doctor asked her a few questions. With that, the doctor stood up and turned to Ringo who was standing behind him from the start.

"It's amnesia. It seems like when she bumped her head to the pole, it damaged her declarative memories, which explains why she doesn't remember herself and everyone around her. However, her procedural memories are still intact. She can still talk or write or walk normally. She just needs time and if possible the will to remember everything. If she doesn't want to remember then she won't, but if she does then there might be possibilities. She is not mentally stable yet, so we're going to keep her here until she does."

Ringo bowed to the doctor as a thank you and he walked pass him towards the door. Before he went outside, he stopped and turned to Ringo.

"Oh, and be prepared to tell the world that their idol might not come back to the fame world anymore,"

Sayuri wrote something in a book given by the doctor. He said that this might help recovering her memories. She wrote everything that happened that day. She also wrote complaints in the book as if she was talking to it. She can't remember her family. When she thought back of the day her family visited her from Fukuoka and she didn't recognised them, her mother cried so hard while holding her hands. She didn't have any memories of them but she felt sad, as if the feelings were still there.

Tokiya came after she closed her journal book. He brought a bouquet of purple flowers in his hands. He walked to the table next to the bed and change the wilted flower in the vase with the new ones. Tokiya did this everyday. Sayuri watched him every single day. He didn't say anything, like every day he came with the purple flowers in his hands, changed the wilted ones, sat on the chair besides her bed and stayed silent. And for a little moment, he will say a little and left. It was just like his daily routine.

That day, when Tokiya was changing the flowers, Sayuri decided to spoke out.

"What is it's name?"

Tokiya's eyes fixed onto the flowers in front of him while his hands was playing with it.

"What is?"

Sayuri looked at him for a while.

"The flowers, what is it called?"

Tokiya stopped whatever he's doing with the flower and replied.

"Aster Tataricus."

Sayuri tilted her head.

"Asuta...?"

"It means Shion," (Aster in Japanese)

"Ahh.."

Tokiya pulled the chair and sat on it. Tokiya didn't look at her, his eyes were only fixed on his hands that he placed onto his lap after he sat down. He played with his fingers silently. Sayuri sighed and hugged her knees. After a while, Tokiya looked up. He saw Sayuri's book on the bed next to her. He gazed at it. Sayuri who noticed this took the book and let her knees down to place it on her lap.

"The doctor asked me to write anything in this. He said it might help."

Tokiya kept silent, looking at the book. The atmosphere became silent for a while. Then, Sayuri decided to ask Tokiya something she'd been wondering for a long time.

"Nee, Tokiya-san..."

Tokiya looked at her as a respond.

"What... am I... to you?"

Tokiya didn't say anything. He continued to look at her.

"Do you know what Shion signified?"

Sayuri was confused when Tokiya suddenly changed the subject. He looked serious. She shook her head as a reply.

"It means 'remembrance'..."

Sayuri kept silent, knowing that Tokiya hadn't finished his sentence yet.

"It means 'I will never forget you',"

Sayuri felt uneasy. She swallowed the remaining of her saliva.

"You're the one who told me, that you won't forget me..."

Tokiya's words made her felt weird and awkward. But at the same time, sad. Tokiya stared at his feet, trembling. She didn't know what to do but just sat there looking at how pitiful this person in front of her is. I.. this person,Sayuri... must be very important to you... right, Tokiya-san?

"Tokiya-san..."

It's almost an hour after Tokiya left her in the room. She hugged her knees, pondering. I'm so sorry, Tokiya-san... She apologized for not remembering him. And then suddenly, tears started to fall and that shocked her. Why am I crying?

Even without memories, she could cry. Her chest became heavy and she couldn't breathe properly. He heart only told her to cry. The sunset marked the end of the day and she ended that day only with tears falling through her cheeks.

The nurse came the next day and bought a radio or a tape player onto the table. She told Sayuri that she wanted her to listen to something. The tape was played and there was a song played. It was beautiful and Sayuri listened to it silently.

"What is this?"

Sayuri asked the nurse in front of her. The nurse smiled naturally.

"It's you,"

Sayuri blinked her eyes many times, showing how confused she was.

"What do you mean... it's me?"

The nurse stopped the tape and turned to her.

"It's you singing your debut song,"

Debut? Sayuri remembered that she was an idol before she'd had amnesia. She once watched on the TV that an idol named Sasagawa Sayuri; that is her, won't perform anymore and had left the music industry because of certain reasons. While some people that witnessed her accident knew what had happened to her, posted their complaints in the internet and told the truth. Some people might believe them and some people might not. The world are full of lies even though one or two might be telling the truth.

"Ahh..."

Sayuri nodded lightly. The nurse smiled and told her that she would leave the player there in case she wanted to hear her song again and then, left the room.

Sayuri looked at the player for a while and change her view to the bouquet of flowers behind it. It's wilting. I wonder when Tokiya-san will come and change it with the new ones...
